Quote:If he's gotten the help he needs and wrapped up his legal issues, I don't how the NFL can keep him from eventually playing. The Josh Gordon and Ray Rice fiascos have placed the NFL on notice that you can't keep a player suspended indefinitely, for, well, an indefinite period of time. This is a league has had a long history of colourful personalities. You don't necessarily need to be Peyton Manning to take the field. You don't even need to be a good person. Just demonstrate efforts to get better, which Blackmon has done, and stay out of trouble, which of course, remains to be seen.

 

I agree.

 

I think their point may be that even IF he gets reinstated and comes back - that return may be shortlived just because of what he does/how he is.

 

The only thing I'm sure of is that I wouldn't count on Blackmon.  He's a luxury.  If he's there, great, but if not - our WRs should be good enough next year.
